Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
Whether your van is running like a charm or has a few mechanical issues, we accept all types. Non-running vehicles often find a second life through repairs and parts, making them just as valuable as their functioning counterparts.
Title Issues
It’s crucial that you have a clear title when donating your van or minivan. If there are any issues, such as being lost or held by a lien, let us know. Our team can help you navigate the necessary steps for a smooth transfer.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
Don’t worry about storage space—if you can’t keep your van any longer, we provide hassle-free pickup services across New Mexico. We’ll coordinate a time that works for you, ensuring a seamless donation experience.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your van or minivan in New Mexico, it's important to handle the title transfer properly. You’ll need to complete the MVD Form 10002 for vehicle donation. This form is typically straightforward, but it can be notarized to avoid any issues. Remember, you must return the license plates to the DMV and cancel your registration with them to avoid further charges. Our team can assist in guiding you through each step of this process.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation of a van or minivan could yield a tax deduction ranging between $500 to the vehicle’s fair market value at the time of the donation. Make sure to keep a record, as you'll receive IRS Form 1098-C to report the donation. We encourage you to consult a tax professional to maximize your benefits and ensure you’re taking full advantage of your generosity!
Local context — New Mexico
In New Mexico, minivans and vans are often seen in neighborhoods like Nob Hill or around popular trails like the La Luz Trail. Many donations come from individuals downsizing due to life changes such as divorce or relocation for work. Others may be upgrading their vehicles or simply facing the reality of a failed inspection. The local culture values both practicality and community support, making vans a common sight as they transport families to gatherings, churches, and outdoor adventures.
